About Karen Carlson

Yes, I know, here’s where I should put a summary of myself – lives, works, loves, does, goes, has – but I’d rather not. I’ve always thought it was absurd that such familiarity could be had with a single click, and equally absurd that one could define oneself on a single page. If you want to know more about me (and nothing would make me happier), you’ll have to work for it: read my posts.

If you’re wondering just what qualifies me to comment on literature, politics, television, art, and whatever else you come across in these pages – nothing whatsoever. A decades-old BA in English cobbled together from ten years of night classes and a couple of years at the third-rate commuter campus of a state university doesn’t hold up well to scrutiny. Nor does a singularly undistinguished crazy-quilt of less-than-intriguing jobs. Nevertheless, I claim the right as an Interested Participant to render my opinions in electrons on a regular basis.
